Not able to Play streaming Audio or Video

Micah Gersten suggests this article as an answer to your question:
FAQ #3: “Restricted Formats”.

Hi Micah,
    1. This is really problem with the Realplayer with java plugin (plugin for realplayer or mogilla?) problem (I gotrid of this problem in windows by installing realplayer and JRE). But Need to see whether it will fix my problem or not in Ubuntu? It didn't fix my problem in Xandros3.0 or fedora earlier.
   regarding 2nd problem. I updated firefox browser update and it's upto date. I installed flashplayer also but didn't check for plugin?
Thanks

ubuntu-restricted-extras installs the JRE. People have had trouble with
Realplayer on Linux.

I found some link in this forum with search key : raaga.com
I will try this over weekend and post my results.

Ok Guys,
    I got raaga.com get worked by removing conflicting totem plugins. BBC radio is also working.
But still..
1. I can't able to access starfalls.com (same error as mentioned before).
2. musicindiaonline.com (shows transferring data but doing nothing).
your help will be greatly appreciated.

Please install the appropriate one of these for your distro:

kubuntu-restricted-extras - Commonly used restricted packages
ubuntu-restricted-extras - Commonly used restricted packages
xubuntu-restricted-extras - Commonly used restricted packages

That will install flash for you.

Hi,
 Little bit progress ...I can able to access raaga.com,bbc.com/radio and musicindiaonline.com
Only problem left is starfalls.com

It's a flash site. Do you have the restricted extras installed? That
should've installed flash. Make sure you restart your browser after the
install.

Hi,
   music india online played correctly. But after reboot problem came again (don't know why?). I don't know how to install restricted extras. Can you let me know ( I am new to this linux world). But when I see plugins falsh player plugin is visible.
Thanks and regards,

Are you able to solve your problem to play from MusicIndiaonline? I am having problem. Realplayer shows up but only "Loading Please Wait" but nothing happens. Any suggesstions? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
  As I already mentioned in my earlier post, I can able to play only for once and then after reboot problem still exist. But I installed WINE and using windows version of it and is working fine. That is something to do with the version of Helix package Java package etc.

Friend4u, Just4info, and others,

reading several answers on the community in LaunchPad, i installed all packages starting with these names:

(for enabling Java)
   java-common, java-gjc*

(for reading streams)
   gstreamer, and these
      gstreamer-...
                 -alsa, -ffmpeg, -bad, -base, -good, -pulseaudio, -x

(for using ShockWave-Flash)
   swf*
   libswf*

(as alternative for totem)
   xine,
   xine-plugin*
   gxine,
   gxine-plugin*

You can install these modules with Synaptic, using the menu:
<Applications>,... <System>,... <Synaptic>,...
( Unlock this program by entering your own password )
Select the module you are installing, or FIND them by entering a word, e.g. SWF/Shockwave/Flash

After installing, you must set the defaults in other programs, e.g. in Firefox you must set the plugins that must be used.
